Is your child residing with your ex, a grandparent, or another guardian all or most of the time? Here is a forum just for you - mums with little or no custody or visitation.

Forum rules: Section 121 of the Australian Family Law Act 1975 makes it an offence to publish proceedings or identify people involved in family law proceedings - please ensure that your post does not breach this law. Never use identifying factors in your posts such as real names, ages, places, etc., or put facts together in such a way that can identify you or any other individual or situation

I am Psychology honours student currently doing my thesis on non-custodial mothers, from a strengths perspective.

I am looking for voluntary non-custodial mothers (mums who are not primary caregivers by choice) to share their stories, who:- Have been NCMs for a minimum of 6 months- Have children under 18 years old- Are living in Australia

I want to emphasise that this is from a strengths perspective and will be a safe and supportive environment to share your stories. This is NOT about judgment or guilt. It is my hope that this research will provide insight into various experiences of motherhood, and inform support for those in a similar situation.

If you are interested in sharing your story, please contact me using the details below. Additionally, please feel free to share if you know anyone who may be interested.
